HSR Tier List 4.7: Best DPS, Amplifiers and Sustains

The best characters in Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 are Acheron, Ashveil, Aventurine • Waveflair, Evanescia, Himeko • Nova, Silver Wolf LV.999 and Sparxie as damage dealers, Aeon ★ Aha, Mortenax Blade, Robin • Summeretto, Trailblazer • Elation and Yao Guang as Amplifiers, and Hyacine and Pearl as Sustains. Aha, released November 11, enters the top tier on day one. This tier list covers every role from the top tier down, explains how it was built, and points out the free and easy-to-get characters worth building in 4.7.

Checked against a community Memory of Chaos tier list updated November 11, 2026, and HoYoverse's Version 4.7 Update Details on November 12, 2026.

Basis: this is a community-opinion tier list. It follows a widely used community ranking that rates characters on their average performance in Memory of Chaos over the last two phases, with limited 5-stars at Eidolon 0 and some 4-stars at Eidolon 6. Characters are listed alphabetically within each tier and grouped by role. Team building matters more than tiers, and lower-ranked characters can still clear content when built well. Pure Fiction and Apocalyptic Shadow rankings differ, so check the mode you are playing.

Who are the best characters in Honkai: Star Rail 4.7?

Top tier (T0) characters in Memory of Chaos:

How does this HSR tier list work?

Characters are grouped by role and by tier band:

Roles: DPS deal the team's main damage, Support DPS add damage from a secondary slot, Amplifiers buff allies or debuff enemies, and Sustains heal or shield. Memory of Chaos rewards Blast and single-target damage, while AoE only matters against some bosses.

A character can appear in two roles when they fit both, such as Ashveil and Sparxie (DPS and Support DPS) or Gilgamesh (T0.5 Support DPS and T1 DPS).

Where does Aeon ★ Aha rank?

Aha is a T0 Amplifier. HoYoverse's patch notes explain why: Aha grants ascension to the Path of Elation, giving Elation characters Innate Traces and new abilities, speeds up the "Aha Instant," and has Aeonic Authority, which lets ally damage suppress enemy Max HP. Aha's Skill gives an ally the "Emanator of Elation" state and immediately launches a follow-up attack. Several T0 characters are Elation users, including Aventurine • Waveflair and Trailblazer • Elation, so Aha's value grows with your Elation roster. The current Apocalyptic Shadow (from November 16) also gives Elation DMG +15%.

Aha's signature Light Cone, Upon the First Echo of "Aha," is on the Brilliant Fixation warp. If you skip it, the 4-star Elation Light Cone See You at the World's End! is free at Superimposition 5 from the 4.7 Trailblaze Mission, so every player has an Elation Light Cone to start with.

Where do the newest characters rank?

Most recent limited characters landed in the top two tiers. Trailer dates come from HoYoverse's official news feed:

Five of the seven characters above are T0, while launch characters such as Clara, Himeko and Gepard now sit at T4. If you are returning after a break, prioritize newer Sustains and Amplifiers that support several DPS.

Which free characters in 4.7 are worth taking?

Version 4.7's Magic Invitation lets you pick one of three characters for free, and Affinitive Starveil adds a free Affinitive Eidolon for one of them:

Acheron is the clear pick if you do not own him. If you do, take whichever of the other two fills a gap, and put the Affinitive Eidolon on a character you will use. The Stellar Convergence Store also offers Jiaoqiu (T4 Amplifier in Memory of Chaos) in 4.7. Full reward details are in the Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 guide.

What are the best Sustains and Amplifiers for most accounts?

Sustains and Amplifiers stay useful longer than DPS units because they slot into many teams. In the current rankings:

• Sustains: Hyacine and Pearl are T0; Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae and Huohuo are T0.5; Lingsha is T1. Aventurine, Fu Xuan and Gallagher sit at T1.5.
• Amplifiers: after the five T0 picks, Cyrene, Sparkle, The Dahlia, Trailblazer • Remembrance, Tribbie and Welt are T0.5, and Ruan Mei, Sunday, Cerydra, Tingyun • Fugue and Trailblazer • Harmony are T1.
• Free units: the Trailblazer's Elation, Remembrance and Harmony forms all rank T1 or higher, which makes them strong value picks.

Which characters should newer players build first?

Start with what 4.7 gives away, then spend pulls on Amplifiers and Sustains that fit many teams:

1. Take the free pick: Acheron (T0 DPS) from Magic Invitation, plus the Affinitive Eidolon from Affinitive Starveil.
2. Build the Trailblazer: the Elation form is T0 as an Amplifier and T0.5 as a DPS, and the Remembrance form is a T0.5 Amplifier.
3. Use the custom relic: Asat Pramad's Gift gives one max-level 5-star relic of your choice from sets released up to 4.7; put it on your main DPS.
4. Spend the Golden Companion Spirit from Stellar Companions on a character from the Stellar Convergence Store that fills a gap.
5. Pull for a T0 Sustain or Amplifier (Hyacine, Pearl, Aha, Robin • Summeretto) before a second DPS; one good Sustain serves every team.

How do 4.7 endgame modes affect the rankings?

Each mode favors different strengths, which is why one ranking cannot cover all three:

The Pure Fiction and Apocalyptic Shadow buffs both point toward Elation teams this version, which supports Aha's ranking.
